TRAIN passengers travelling from Lichfield to London over the bank holiday are being warned of potential disruption.
Network Rail is carrying out a number of projects to replace trackside drainage and sections of the West Coast Main Line between London Euston and Milton Keynes.
It will mean the full closure of Euston on 4th and 5th May, with services only running as far as Milton Keynes, while fewer services will run on 3rd May.
Brian Paynter, Network Rail capital delivery head of track, said:
“There’s a lot of great work happening over the early May bank holiday to improve the reliability and safety of the railway for passengers and freight.
“We know some of this will be disruptive, but bank holidays remain the least busy time for carrying out complex upgrades.
“I’d like to encourage people to plan ahead at www.nationalrail.co.uk/spring and recommend to those planning journeys to or from London Euston to travel either side of the bank holiday weekend for the most straightforward journey.”
